Thanks for sharing the website, Andy. I've passed it on to a pal who served in the army and is passionate about motorbikes. Good to get the word out there.
Could make an interesting audax ride, too

Great series so far, you've captured the essence of solo touring with this series, self reliance, adventure, the autonomy and sometimes loneliness of being alone, yet sometimes, actually very often, complete strangers turn out to be absolute mega stars. Hope you've got a new bike coming soon, cheers.

Thanks buddy. New bike on its way 👍

Nice one Andy , not far from me on this one.. The cafe burned down at Hartside a good few years back , local papers said recently that it is going to be rebuilt.

Thanks Dave. Phew!
Thought I'd lost the plot...so thanks for reassurance about the cafe at Hartside 👍
